Kira writes many letters to J., an estranged childhood friend, in her diary. "Is this the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning?"

HEY, YOU!! Yeah, you! Have you ever wanted to see "SMEE!!!" the musical? Be chased by a Hellhorse? Out-maths a P.E. teacher? Say "hello potato ice cream" in Welsh? Well, neither did I - but here's how it all happened anyway. #memoirmonth

A collection of short stories and poems that I write for enjoyment. None are designed for publication, but I hope you enjoy them.

You'd think seeing a dog getting the shit knocked out of it on my first evening out as a teenager would give me pause. Nope. It marked what would eventually happen to me, as tried to escape my dysfunctional family, but managed to mess my life up with drugs, females, and alcohol.

Dating back in college was a horror for an overweight girl. Guys chose the skinny girls over the fuller-figured ones any day, and getting a date for an event became a nightmare. Never mind that I was on the Dean's List, never mind that I was the editor of my college newspaper or that I was a published poet, never mind that people complimented my taste in clothes or that I always had a smile on my face. Forget that I made sure I was always up-to-date on the news so that I could converse on just about any topic. None of that mattered on date night. The same young men who asked for my help in Composition and Rhetoric or Advanced Statistics didn't know I existed when they were looking for someone to ask out for Friday night. They gave me a casual "Hi" as they passed me by on campus or in town on a weekend evening. They were looking for a hot date and I didn't qualify. To make matters worse, my female friends were all thin girls. One girl in my dorm who was slender and gorgeous had allergies to many different foods, so she had very little choice in what she could eat. I started wishing I had allergies. This poor girl literally couldn't eat, and I envied her.

A short story about a girl I met in Istanbul.

Here is the story I put up for memoir month. Enjoy!

Laureen Kristine Hanson was a simple girl who had everything her heart desires. Her friends that are always there to support and help for her, her family that is always there to take care of her, and her first love and dearest friend, Jeffrey, that's always been there to cheer her up. But what if one day, someone suddenly came in and take away all that she had? Her friends, family,...EVERYTHING, even her first love. Will she still be able to find the courage, hope and strength to take back what was originally hers? What about her friends? Will they be able to support her throughout their lovely friend's suffering and torment? More importantly, will she and her love still have a "Happy Ever After"? Or is that happy ending doomed to only exists in fairytales and novels? Votes and comments are greatly appreciated!

A strange light in the sky. Strange lights in my bedroom. Weird hovering machine noise above my house. These are just a few of the strange things that have happened to me. This is a simple excerpt from my mini-memoir, In Case I Die--a book I wrote to help people realize that strange things are not that uncommon, and that the world is much more interesting than we think. We'll know and understand this better so long as people start sharing their stories. I hope you share yours!

This is mainly just one story about a time when I was at school. I live with chronic headaches and often times, have really painful episodes that I do not know how to deal with. This is one of those times. I may add more stories at a later date.

Abigail White is a small town girl from Oklahoma with a past that no one knows about but her and The Big Man Himself. Her mother was killed in a car crash, her father has gone from being a loving family man to an abusive drunkard, she has become outcasted by almost everyone at her school, and her best friend for her entire life is no longer in the picture. Well, they are, but they're not in the right picture. She doesn't know exactly what she did to deserve the life she has now, but accepts it as a punishment, believeing she is no longer wanted. Her heart has become barricaded, keeping everyone out of her past, and even the friends she has left don't know her entire story. Travis Benson has no idea who he is anymore. After getting rid of his best friend since diaper days because his parents split up for a while, he has completely changed his image. Trying to get rid of the pain, he becomes one of the school's biggest play boys. He stopped believeing in true love a long time ago, now believeing it's humanely impossible to experience. But, what'll happen during Abigail's junior year of high school? She's just trying to survive with the pieces of her heart left behind and find out what she did wrong. He's just trying to figure out who he is and find out what 'love' really means. What does God have in store for these two unlikely teens?

A past full of hopes and dreams. A present bleached of all colour and life. A future, bleak and bare. In my eyes. Posted for Wattpad's #memoirmonth
